My 408 was built from the old engine in my 93 lightning . It was roller compatible and was a runner when replaced so I new it was good. Advantages of later block . 1piece rear main seal, roller cam friendly ( no expensive retro partts) The shop tested mine and found it ok. (I knew that) Suggestions, main studs and girdle, zero balance eagle stroker kit and matching FRPP flywheel and balancer. Consider this if all you are going to use is the block 750 is high .Add the cost of the Girdle and studs to the 750 and see how much more a sportsman block will cost . Call Fortes and MAx. You will have to do the machine work and buy the kit either way so don't ad that in . Bob
